NICKel



· Atomic Number: 28 · Atomic Mass: 58.6934 amu · Solid · Transition Metal 


 * History:** Nickel’s use has been traced as far back as 3500 BC, but it was first isolated and classified as a chemical element in 1751 by Alex Fredrik Cronstedt, who initially mistook its ore for a copper mineral. Major production sites of nickel include Sudbury region in Canada, New Caledonia and Norilsk in Russia. The metal is corrosion-resistant, finding many uses in alloys, as a plating, in the manufacture of coins, magnets and common household utensils, as a catalyst for hydrogenation, and in a variety of other applications.

· **Melting Point: ** 1453.0 °C (1726.15 K, 2647.4 °F) · **Boiling Point: ** 2732.0 °C (3005.15 K, 4949.6 °F) · **Density @ 293 K: ** 8.902 g/cm3
 * Common Uses:** Nickel is used in many industrial and consumer products, including stainless steel, magnets, coinage, rechargeable batteries , electric guitar strings and special alloys. It is also used for plating and as a green tint in glass. It is also widely used in many other alloys, such as nickel brasses and bronzes, and alloys with copper, chromium, aluminium, lead, cobalt, silver, and gold.
